i've visited numerous muslim countries myself, jordan, iraq, lebanon, pakistan, and brief stops in saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. and i admit that my extent is not as near as president obama, but his experience with israel is not as close as mine, 20 trips there, many extensive dating back to 1973. he's visited once, very briefly, for about a day, mostly to jerusalem when he was a candidate and even then spent part that have day meeting with palestinian leaders. now, i say that because i understand something that i truly don't think the president does. that is that israel is not fighting for a few extra acres or square miles of real estate. it's not battling for foreign aid for us or protection from the united states not merely fighting for its life as a sovereign nation or protecting its economy or way of life. it's literally fighting for the existence of the jewish people. jews have been haunted and marked for annihilation over 2000 years, within the lifetime of many of the present day jews, the painful memories of the holocaust are still firsthand for some of the survivors

mccaskill: the war in iraq was a mess. and when i went to washington i went with the eyes of an auditor to look at something my predecessor in this seat felt pretty strongly about, that is war profiteering. i can assure you harry truman is spinning in his grave over what went on in iraq. congressman akin wouldn't even vote to require competitive contracts in iraq for the oil infrastructure. i helped establish the war contracting commission when i got to washington. i went to iraq and afghanistan on contracting oversight. no one had paid much attention to this. we found in the war contracting commission $60 billion, keep in mind, that is almost three years of the entire missouri budget, that just went up in smoke in waste, fraud, abuse. no one was minding the store. we have now begun to clean that up. in afghanistan, i support the mission of training their police and their army but what we're doing in terms of spending our money on infrastructure is wrong. we are now doing the same thing in afghanistan that we did in iraq.
